syncopated.

watching the world through the rear windscreen at night,
it's a gorgeous sight.
lights, lights of red blue green red blue green streak by so fast,
as the passengers speed past.

vienna teng's "blue caravan".
it just flows. who needs choruses?

Oh he was a beautiful fiction
I invented to keep out the cold.
But now my blue, blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old.

watching the world, anxiously, through the rear windscreen at night,
it (takes your breath away) is a terrifying sight.
lights, lights of red blue green swallowed by the dark at last,
as another one bites the dust.

i found myself full of questions. i was probably at least a slight nuisance to everyone else around me. but i couldn't help myself!

during the renaissance period there was only one science. meaning you dabbled into mathematics, the arts, philosophy, politics and oh yes lets not forget physics, chem and bio.

as of now i'm in total awe and admiration for the cartesian coordinate system. its so simple and elegant, and yet it explains pretty much the world around us with such clarity. the things we can do with it are infinite.

and up to now we've still only been working in 2d. and straight line 3d vectors.

lift off.

for me, one of the greatest disappointments of the last 2 years was the introduction of those pretty red, blue and yellow round tables in the sac.

(don't get any) big ideas
they're not gonna happen.

here we go again. change is so happening. y'know, there was a time when julius and i went to the same kindergarten.

the last supper.

on friday everyone went to school not for lessons but to practise counting 1, 2, 3 while posing for shots. and the campus felt empty and lonely. empty except for a senior employee heading in the direction of the boarding school as julius, mel and i took a landmark evening stroll across the quadrangle and down the ramp.

junior, and then independent.

my .14 classmate of 2 years hans has a nice post up on his site. "now it's my turn to say goodbye. goodbye."

things seem real exciting down under. monash, melbourne, sydney. things ain't that simple though are they.

just found out that scott had won a regatta at woollahara about a month ago. that's in sydney harbour. maybe i should go talk to him.

jigsaw falling
into place.
there is nothing to explain.

it's a wonderful song.

'15 step' starts off with a drum riff that lays the platform. the vocals. an upbeat 6-string progression announces its arrival. "et cetera, et cetera" and then they really start playing around with the song, glitches, voice distortions, drum loops.

the guitars in 'bodysnatchers' wouldn't sound out of place in battles' 'atlas'.

'jigsaw falling into place' certainly seems to involve a lot of movement. "the beat goes round and round."

other than those the rest of this album sees radiohead at its most mellow. featuring string sections. beautiful? well we'll see. i'll bring it around with me for the next few days and we'll see all right. it's certainly very exciting.

nude brings 'bulletproof... i wish i was' to mind.

but there is no one like thom yorke. 'videotape' rounds things off with

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape
My videotape

When mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red blue green
In red blue green

You are my centre when I spin away
Out of control
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before

No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen

OWTTE.

i've lost faith in one of them. the other... i met in pacific coffee cafe today by chance. remember having a serious talk with her last year about the feasibility of retaining a year to pursue beijing. "stairway to heaven" was played in the cafe today. "yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on."

teachers teach us. you never know how soon it will be too late.

why isn't lms a success i wonder? it could have really been great for document transfers between teachers and students. yet it's underused.

recently been listening to mars volta's 'viscera eyes'. vienna teng's 'homecoming'.

i'm beginning to get oceansize's 'unfamiliar'. the last refrain is amazing. trail of fire is good too. i'm eager to hear the rest of 'frames' actually.
